9/4
Ready winner of a Fontwell bumper in February and confirmed the promise of his hurdling debut with a much-improved effort when winning 13-runner Plumpton novice (15.9f) 26 days ago. asserting final 50 yds. Should continue to progress and looks up to defying a penalty.

Hinted at ability in a bumper/maiden hurdle but will make little appeal this side of handicaps.

4/5
Dual bumper winner who shaped with plenty of encouragement when third of 6 at Cheltenham on hurdles debut in December 2022. Failed to repeat that effort back there 3 weeks later but retains plenty of potential having joined Nicky Henderson.

Fair form first 2 runs in bumpers. Given a considerate introduction to hurdling when sixth over C&D in November and built on that when fourth of 18 at Newbury (16.3f) 24 days ago. This requires another step forward, though.

Fairly useful handicapper on Flat (stays 11.5f) and again showed plenty of aptitude for hurdling when finding only Goodwin too strong at Plumpton (15.9f) 26 days ago. Meets that rival on 6 lb better terms here.

€72,000 3-y-o, Shantou gelding. Brother to fairly useful hurdler Findthetime but failed to meet expectations in a Uttoxeter bumper on debut in November.

18/1
Runner-up completed start in Irish points and made a sound start to her Rules career when third of 16 in a bumper at Huntingdon in February. Ran below that form at Southwell but shaped with some promise sent hurdling when fifth of 11 at Cheltenham (16.8f) 29 days ago. Should do better.

Forecasts

Gentle Slopes (4/5), Goodwin (9/4), Junkanoo (11/2), Brendas Asking (18/1), Highway One O Five (20/1), Pleasington (40/1), Kotari (125/1), Hawk Stone (150/1), Don Occhetti (200/1), Eloso (200/1)

Verdict

GOODWIN was much improved when making all at Plumpton last month and, with the third going on to frank the form subsequently, he looks up to defying a penalty with further progress on the cards. Gentle Slopes retains plenty of potential on first start for Nicky Henderson, while Junkanoo seems sure to be in the thick of the action once again.

  1. Goodwin9/4
